Lilly Bainbridge (Clara Stack), Will Hanlon (Blake Cameron James), Marge Truman (Matilda Lawler), and Ronnie Grogan (Amanda Christine) all manage to stop Pennywise the Clown, a shapeshifting evil entity, from breaking beyond the confines of Derry.
They do this by burying a magical dagger (made from the remnants of a fallen star that imprisoned the entity centuries prior) under a tree which reactivates the ancient cage preventing the evil from spreading to the rest of the world. they don’t do this alone, however, as the ghost of Rich Santos (Arian S. Cartaya) helps plunge the dagger into place.
Pennywise is once again imprisoned,but as anyone familiar with It knows,the evil reawakens in 27 years time. The final scene of It: Welcome to Derry connects to the 2017 film adaptation, as Ingrid Kersh – the daughter of the original Pennywise performer Bob gray – witnesses the death of Beverly Marsh’s mum in the mental asylum 26 years later.
In the scene, Sophia Lillis reprises her role as Beverly from 2017’s It. As Beverly and her father mourn the loss of her mother, an older Ingrid tells beverly not to worry, as in Derry “no one ever really dies”.
